What is the rectangular form of the polar equation?
r−rcosθ=6
\(\frac{1}{12}{y}^{2}-3\)
r + r cosθ = 6
r = √[x^2 + y^2]
cos θ = x/r
So we have that
√[x^2 + y^2] + r (x/r) = 6
√[x^2 + y^2] + x = 6
√[x^2 + y^2] = 6 - x square both sides
x^2 + y^2 = x^2 - 12x + 36
y^2 = -12x + 36
12x = -y^2 + 36
x = -y^2/12 + 3
Thanks Chris, I was wondering how to do that.
LOL!!!!....I'm still wondering myself !!!!
What are you wondering about?
